Daily Prompt: Art Appreciation
Do you need to agree with an artist’s lifestyle or politics to appreciate their art? To spend money on it?
Do I have to agree with an artist’s lifestyle or politics to appreciate their art? No in fact in the case of many pieces of public art, I have no idea who the person behind the name is when I first see a piece. If I am moved sufficiently, I will Bing or Google the artist to learn more about them, and see what other works they have done. To spend money on a piece of art, I would be moved more by the art, than the lifestyle of the artist. However the politics of the art, might cause me to not buy a piece.
Here are some pieces of public art for your perusal:
Steveston Docks
Haida Themed Terracotta Warrior
Watch out for the water drops in Vancouver
Inukshuk, means the people were here.
Want the whole story step into the middle, just watch out for the time of the tides.
Spirit of the forest.
Lighting the night with art at Sun Yat Sen Gardens, Vancouver
